SINGAPORE: The excitement at Dota 2's prestigious The International (TI) 11 esport competition coming to South-east Asia for the first time was evident as tickets for the Oct 20-30 tournament in Singapore were snapped up within an hour of going on sale on Saturday (Aug 13).

But much to the dismay of fans, some of these tickets were bought by scalpers who marked up ticket prices by more than 10 times.
